Ben, Gemma, and Hillary break into Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper, a story in which two nine-year-old doppelgangers are allowed to drink a lot of wine. They wonder if Twain was successful in telling a class war story, or if he just wanted to write some Tudor fanfic.

01 By Mark Twain, dramatised by Marcy Kahan. One of the great American novels comes into rich and multilayered life in the most complete dramatisation yet. This BBC/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation co-production evokes pre-Civil War America, and follows Huck and the runaway slave Jim on their journey down the Mississippi on a raft. Twain's wise and affectionate writing gives voice to Huck's growing understanding of Jim's humanity, and remains controversial. This programme contains language...

Shouldn’t Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women occupy the same top shelf in American literature as, say, Tom Sawyer ? Alcott wrote the beloved coming-of-age account of four Civil War-era sisters in response to a publisher’s request for a girls’ story. She delivered an enduring classic – published 150 years ago next month – drawing from her own experiences with her three sisters. In a discussion of her new book Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy: The Story of Little Women and Why It Still...
